The Life and Thought of Kanzo Uchimura, 1861-1930

Summary: Christian faith apart from organized religion
Review: This book provides an important resource for the Christian community. Kanzo Uchimura was a Japanese Christian prophet whose life still influences culture in his homeland. Because his works are not available in English, Miura's book provides access to non-Japanese people. Uchimura developed the concept of Mukyokai, the non-church Christian movement. To this day tens of thousands of believers in Japan worship in homes and rented public spaces. Without ordained clergy or church organizations, the people provide each other with nurture in faith.
